Jordan Baseman - (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
15th September - 7th November 2007
Hatton Gallery, The Quadrangle, Newcastle University
(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction showcases a collection of new single-screen film and sound works by Jordan Baseman, including a new Hatton Gallery commission, Voice Hearers (2007), created in collaboration with Douglas Turkington, Professor of Psychosocial Psychiatry at Newcastle University and Northumberland Tyne and Wear Trust and funded by Arts Council England.The works consider portraiture, identity, the study of ourselves, aspiration, belief, and the nature of our very existence, dealing equally in notions of false starts, mistakes, errors and failures. How do all of these ideas and states manifest themselves in our lives? In (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Jordan Baseman seeks to question something of the broad spectrum of human experience.
